Product Description
An older British couple's (Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones) marriage dissolves when Hopkins begins pursuing a much younger call girl, prompting Jones to place all of her life decisions in the hands of a phony fortune teller. Meanwhile, their daughter (Naomi Watts) develops romantic feelings towards her boss as her husband (Josh Brolin) falls for a mysterious woman he's only ever seen through a window. Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch co-star in Woody Allen's seriocomic look at the nature of unhappy marriage. 99 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English LCR Discreet Surround, French LCR Discreet Surround; Subtitles: English (SDH), French.

It doesn't take a Nostradamus to see that the interconnected lives in Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger are going to be troubled indeed--and yet the clairvoyant hired by newly divorced Helena (Gemma Jones) fails to predict the complications to come. Well, then there wouldn't be a movie, would there? Helena's restless old goat of an ex-husband, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins), has taken up with a loud hooker (Lucy Punch, Dinner for Schmucks), who he somehow believes to be his dream girl. Helena's daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) is enduring her marriage to blocked novelist Roy (Josh Brolin) while growing enchanted by her boss, a gallery owner (Antonio Banderas) with an accent. Meanwhile, Roy is spending too little time writing and too much time mooning over the knockout (Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto) who lives in the apartment across the street. Allen's morose-go-round spreads itself across this collection of potentially intriguing people, yet the individual scenes feel slack and under-rehearsed, and the London locations are basically irrelevant. And while the cast is stocked with talented players, almost everybody looks slightly miscast, so the film doesn't seem to have an anchor anywhere. It comes to an interesting ending, but by then Allen's purpose seems increasingly casual--when what this roundelay really needs is urgency. --Robert Horton
